| Abstract: | This Instructional Resource focuses on the photographic work of Mississippi artist Eudora Welty (1909-2001). Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for "The Optimist's Daughter," Welty lived most of her life in Jackson, Mississippi. She used photography as a way to create visual "snapshots" that fueled her successful writing career of award-winning short stories and novels. As a photographer, Eudora Welty transformed moments in Mississippi history into aesthetically significant works of art that became accessible to a wider audience. Photographs by Eudora Welty can be used during art classroom discussions as tangible evidence of material culture to better understand both individual experiences as well as broader sociopolitical issues of the history of the United States (Prown, 2001). |

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for <emph>The Optimist's Daughter</emph>, Welty lived most of her life in Jackson, Mississippi. She used photography as a way to create visual "snapshots" that fueled her successful writing career of award-winning short stories and novels. Within her photographic body of work, she is best known for Great Depression–era depictions of Mississippi, but she also shot compelling images of New Orleans and New York City ([<reflink idref="bib11" id="ref1">11</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib16" id="ref2">16</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref3">21</reflink>]).</p> <p>As a photographer, Eudora Welty transformed moments in Mississippi history into aesthetically significant works of art that became accessible to a wider audience. Welty came from a moderately wealthy White family originally from the northern United States. In some cases, there was a significant difference in socioeconomic status between Welty and her photographic subjects. Publishers were often interested in marketing books about photographs of African Americans in the South to predominantly White audiences in the North. Yet Welty was sensitively aware of the hierarchical dynamics involved in capturing imagery of the daily lives of African Americans in public spaces during a time when segregation was the state law. Photographs by Eudora Welty can be used during art classroom discussions as tangible evidence of material culture to better understand both individual experiences as well as broader sociopolitical issues of the history of the United States ([<reflink idref="bib17" id="ref4">17</reflink>]).</p> <hd id="AN0136023516-2">Mississippi Arts Connections</hd> <p>Like Eudora Welty, several other visual artists from Mississippi have connections to New York City in regard to creative inspiration and career success. As a native New Yorker, I lived most of my adult life in this urban setting near the Atlantic Ocean. Once I moved to the "friendly city" of Columbus, Mississippi, located on the Tombigbee River ([<reflink idref="bib13" id="ref5">13</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib19" id="ref6">19</reflink>]), I became aware of this strong association between Mississippi artists and New York as an international arts center. The author Katy Simpson Smith refers to her home state of Mississippi as "the most under-resourced state" in the United States ([<reflink idref="bib10" id="ref7">10</reflink>], p. 2). Yet, in terms of the arts, Mississippi is one of the richest states. Famous visual artists from Mississippi include painters, sculptors, potters, and folk stitchery artists ([<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref8">1</reflink>]).</p> <p>The year 2017 was Mississippi's bicentennial year ([<reflink idref="bib14" id="ref9">14</reflink>]). Mississippi Museum of Art held an art exhibition called Picturing Mississippi, 1817–2017: Land of Plenty, Pain, and Promise. With more than 175 works by 100 different artists interpreting the state's rich artistic legacy over two centuries,[<reflink idref="bib1" id="ref10">1</reflink>] the show included photographs by Welty and coincided with the opening of the nearby Civil Rights Museum.</p> <p>My students who are preservice art education and preservice elementary education teachers tap into a basic understanding of the strengths of the arts by re-examining their own childhoods. This prepares them to transfer an understanding of the strength of the arts with their own future young students ([<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref11">2</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib4" id="ref12">4</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib5" id="ref13">5</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib9" id="ref14">9</reflink>]). Utilizing artwork by celebrated local artists to design lessons sends the message to children of Mississippi, "You can be an artist, too." Teachers from other states can use this model to empower their students to become future artists with a sense of pride and confidence by placing an emphasis on documenting through photography the particulars of people, places, and times. Below is information about Eudora Welty, a visual artist of Mississippi I introduce to my preservice teachers in preparation for designing arts integration lessons ([<reflink idref="bib3" id="ref15">3</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib24" id="ref16">24</reflink>]).</p> <hd id="AN0136023516-3">Photographs as "Snapshots" by Eudora Welty</hd> <p>Eudora Welty (1909-2001) is a celebrated Mississippi writer of short stories and novels. She spent most of her adult life in her childhood home in Jackson, now open to the public as Eudora Welty House and Garden.[<reflink idref="bib2" id="ref17">2</reflink>] During her youth, she enjoyed illustration and painting. The artist Marie Hull was the teacher who instructed Welty how "to frame [her composition] using her fingers" ([<reflink idref="bib16" id="ref18">16</reflink>], p. xvi). Welty's writing mentor, novelist Katherine Anne Porter (1992), explained, "For a good number of years [Eudora Welty] believed she was going to be a painter and painted quite earnestly while she wrote without much effort" (p. 4). She learned how to use a camera from her father who owned an Eastman ([<reflink idref="bib22" id="ref19">22</reflink>]). [<reflink idref="bib22" id="ref20">22</reflink>], p. 84) often quoted statement is, "A good snapshot keeps a moment from running away" (Figure 1).</p> <p>Graph: Figure 1. Eyd Kazery, Eudora Welty, n.d. ©Eyd Kazery Photography.</p> <p>Welty studied at Mississippi State College for Women (now Mississippi University for Women), University of Wisconsin–Madison, and the Graduate School of Business at Columbia University. After her father's premature death, she traveled as a junior publicity agent for the Works Progress Administration and took photographs for her own pleasure. She stated, "I began taking pictures... for my own gratification on the side" ([<reflink idref="bib7" id="ref21">7</reflink>], p. 33). Most of these early photographs are of people she met while exploring the regions of Mississippi in the 1930s. [<reflink idref="bib8" id="ref22">8</reflink>] stated, "The pictures show the rural poor and convey the want and worry of the Great Depression. But more than that, they show the photographer's wide-ranging curiosity and unstinting empathy—which would mark her work as a writer, too."</p> <p>Welty photographed with dignity and grace not only poor Whites but also African Americans who at the time in the South were perceived as "socially invisible" to Whites ([<reflink idref="bib18" id="ref23">18</reflink>]). An example is her photograph of a contemplative African American woman, wearing a print dress and fitted straw hat, eyeing store merchandise while standing on the sidewalk in Grenada, Mississippi, now known as <emph>Window Shopping</emph> (Figure 2). Another example is of an African American girl dressed for church service called <emph>Sunday School Child.</emph> Holding an umbrella with both hands, she stands on a sidewalk in Jackson, Mississippi (Figure 3). Welty's photographs captured the sense of visual stories in terms of the times, locale, and people ([<reflink idref="bib6" id="ref24">6</reflink>]).</p> <p>Graph: Figure 2.

Eudora Welty, Sunday School Child, 1930s. ©Eudora Welty, LLC; Courtesy Eudora Welty Collection-Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and Russell &amp; Volkening as agents for the author's estate.</p> <p>As a young woman, Welty traveled by train to New York City. She captured scenes of unemployed men in Union Square, the frozen Hudson River, and the elevated subway line. One image, <emph>Untitled,</emph> taken in 1939, shows the stairs subway riders climbed to reach the station platform with a scene below of a man walking on the sidewalk past a cigar store (Figure 4). Another Eudora Welty photograph, <emph>Untitled</emph>, also taken in 1939, is of an unemployed man wearing a suit and hat near a shoeshine stand at Union Square (Figure 5). In the middle ground is a woman bent over a baby carriage near the equestrian statue of George Washington (1865) by Henry Kirke Brown. During the Great Depression, many men spent time in this city park wearing the few clothes they owned, hoping to find work (J. J. McLoughlin, personal communication, January 11, 2016). A grand residential square before the Civil War, Union Square later became the center of the political left during the 20th century ([<reflink idref="bib23" id="ref25">23</reflink>]).</p> <p>Graph: Figure 4.

Shoeshine stand, New York. ©Eudora Welty, LLC; Courtesy Eudora Welty Collection-Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and Russell &amp; Volkening as agents for the author's estate.</p> <p>Many of these snapshots of lively vignettes were used as visual inspiration for Welty. Her short story "Flowers for Marjorie" (1944) is about a couple who suffer during the Great Depression in New York City. She used her Rolleiflex camera to take photographs that were used "in the way I might refer to notes, certain snapshots of costumes" ([<reflink idref="bib16" id="ref26">16</reflink>], p. xvi). The Rolleiflex was a "big, bulky camera with twin-lens reflex" used by amateur photographers that "hasn't been used in decades" (J. J. McLoughlin, personal communication, January 11, 2016). In the 1930s, Welty had the opportunity to exhibit at Lugene Opticians' Photographic Galleries. Later, she had retrospectives at the National Museum of Women in the Arts from 2003 to 2004 and Museum of the City of New York in 2009 ([<reflink idref="bib18" id="ref27">18</reflink>]). After her success as a fiction writer and repeated attempts to be recognized as a photographer, several books of her photography were published ([<reflink idref="bib11" id="ref28">11</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib16" id="ref29">16</reflink>]; [<reflink idref="bib21" id="ref30">21</reflink>]).</p> <hd id="AN0136023516-4">Creating With National Visual Arts Standards</hd> <p>The following are suggested National Visual Arts Standards ([<reflink idref="bib15" id="ref31">15</reflink>]) for Creating, Anchor Standard 1: Combine concepts collaboratively to generate innovative ideas for creating art (6th grade, VA: Cr1.1.6a); Document early stages of the creative process visually and/or verbally in traditional or new media (8th grade, VA: Cr1.1.8a). One of my preservice teachers suggested in the future he would have his students take photographs of the people and events they encountered and also have students write about photographs by Eudora Welty.</p> <hd id="AN0136023516-5">Conversational Springboard</hd> <p>The photography of Eudora Welty as an example of artwork by a Mississippian can act as a conversational springboard and a source of inspiration for artwork created by young artists in the classroom. Many of my preservice elementary education teachers are determined to instruct future generations of Mississippians about local artists. Finding inspiration from the familiar, youth can imagine their ability to achieve success too.</p> <p>Art teachers and teachers of other subjects beyond Mississippi can do research on local artists in their own states. Preservice teachers can draw new knowledge and understanding in the arts by tapping into their own lived experiences, creative practices, and local resources. Art museums, arts organizations, public libraries, and tourist attractions such as the homes of famous artists can be used as sources of information for designing arts integration lessons for students at the elementary level. I was pleasantly surprised by the ways in which my students utilized information to create arts integration lessons. The result is the ability to make meaningful connections between an artist who has impacted local history and contemporary learners.</p> <hd id="AN0136023516-6">Acknowledgments</hd> <p>I express my appreciation to my students, in particular Hunter Fields (fall 2016), in Fine Arts in Education.
